	Happy to help out for a while! I have a 8C/16T machine (Zen5, AVX512) with 128 GB RAM. Downloaded the files, viewed the WIKI and did a little test-run. If R700 is the first one, please provide me with the correct settings for (2), (3) and (6) assuming I'll do 1-50M. Just as I'm not familiar with the program, to make sure I'll do it right. If easier, contact me via PM. I did some manual sieving projects in the past (for PG), once I know what settings to apply it should be OK from there on.

	Happy to also help out for a while. Could I please be sent the steps for all the stages assuming there is still work available in the 32gb RAM range? I have successfully extracted the software from the zip file and set up Python. Once the data is processed I will need to send it to someone to be able to look through. I have no idea what I would be looking for

	Reserve a range https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=1966 What cpu do you have? After the range is finished provide me a link to download.

	I have a GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF [Family 6 Model 183 Stepping 1] (32 processors) Unfortunately if the 1 – 50 range has already been reserved there is nothing available for me to process as to my understanding I do not have enough RAM?

I have no idea what I would be looking for Quoting my initial post. If you are happy to send me the steps of how to do each stage am aware I will need to send you a link after stage I, also need to know were to get a range from. I am happy to help otherwise others will have to do this project

Every range is the same but more cores in use = more RAM is needed So I am limited to roughly 32 gig of RAM so is there any work for me to be able to help with? If answer is yes please refer to my previous post below this one

	With 16 workers running right now, my RAM usage is 'just' <100MB. naxKsrsieve2: 1000000 EDIT: does this setting influence RAM-usage?
